Steroid Injection Treatment for Scars at Shellharbour Skin

Understanding Steroid Injection for Scars

Steroid injections, a focused and effective treatment offered at Shellharbour Skin, are used to improve the appearance of raised scars, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars. These types of scars can be aesthetically concerning and sometimes uncomfortable or itchy. Dr. Barney Gordon, at Shellharbour Skin, specialises in administering these injections, which contain corticosteroids, to reduce the scar’s size and ease associated symptoms.

Why Choose Steroid Injections for Scar Treatment?

1. Effective Scar Management: Steroid injections are proven to flatten and soften raised scars, making them less noticeable and more comfortable.
2. Minimally Invasive Procedure: The treatment involves a series of small injections directly into the scar tissue, making it a minimally invasive option with little to no downtime.
3. Reduction in Discomfort and Itching: Besides improving the scar’s appearance, these injections can significantly reduce any pain, discomfort, or itching the scar may cause.
4. Prevents Scar Progression: Regular treatments can prevent the scar from growing larger and more pronounced, especially in the early stages of scar formation.
